Awards and honours

I am very happy about all the awards which show the appreciation for my work:

With my theatre projects, I have been invited to many workshops f.e. in Austria and was able to secure the Hamburg Childrens Theatre award multiple times.

My films have been shown at numerous international festivals and in cinemas as well as on TV, also I have gathered some film fundings.

My short stories have been awarded at writing competitions and published in lots of anthologies.

Also I was invited to several podcasts to talk about my work and I am a member in many networks to be connected to other creative people.
